Pooch Patrol
Tofino + Ucluelet is dog heaven with all the beaches and trails to explore. Many patios are pooch friendly as well. Bring your pooch! Below we go over “Petiquette” at vacation rentals, favourite beaches and dog friendly patios. We love taking our dog to Salty Dog Grooming for a wash and fluff because those beaches can come home with you. Search our dog friendly vacation rentals to see where you can stay and bring your furry best friend. Vacation rentals charge a $50 pet cleaning fee and most provide dog towels and bowls.
Petiquette at Vacation Rentals:
Keep your pooch leashed up while outside
Not allowed on furniture for cuddles (sorry)
If you are leaving the house and your dog behind, your pup must be kenelled so as not to incur damage to the house
Clean up after your pup outside
Checking out? Cleaners appreciate a little sweep up if you have a hairy or muddy friend!
